These recordings are samples of audio productions made by participants of the media training opportunity “Women speak up for themselves” at AfricanTide Union e.V.(ATU) in Dortmund. Women came together taking first joint steps in producing their own Media, explore and gain know-how in how they could tell their stories to make themselves heard in the “information age”.

In interviews and conversations, the women talk about a life between different cultures, education of the children (02), the importance of International Women’s day in Europe and Africa (03), violence against women (05), and the participation of women in all aspects of social, public and political life.

The activities were part of a series of special events in the annual celebration of International Women’s Day at AfricanTide. The 5’ remix “Frauen sprechen fur sich”/ Women speak up for themselves” includes excerpts of various recordings and was presented at the final celebratory event for International Women’s Day.

AfricanTide Union (ATU) is an NGO in Dortmund offering German language courses; various certified training courses for professional jobs and a variety of educational programmes catering for the needs of the migrant communities in the area. http://www.africantide.com
